Todd Davis, LB

I don’t know how deep the Broncos are at linebacker because they have an influx of new players there, but I do know that you never want to lose your leader on the second level.

Alexander Johnson started for most of last year and did a good job, but that was his first year as a starter and he never had to make calls at the line. If Davis is out for any length of time, that is going to put a lot of strain on the defense as a whole, but most of all on Johnson.

What is even worse for the Broncos is that they will be facing the Tennessee Titans, who have spent the entire offseason trying to build a bully on offense.

Whether that means a top-100 pick on a running back or a 1st round pick on a massive tackle, the goal for the Titans remains the same: run the ball.

Derrick Henry has been slightly disrespected all offseason in the rankings and he has heard about how the Titans never start strong. I think he and the rest of that offense are ready to go out and prove that 2019 wasn’t a fluke.
